Anyone Still buying PM at these Prices? Which PM are you still buying?

Mike59Mike59 Posts: 319 ✭✭✭

The last couple of months ive been only buying gold. Mostly AGE and some Pre-33. Maybe I should have been buying both PM. Who's still buying PM and what are you buying ?
Thanks,
Mike

    Picked up a few ASE tubes yesterday and earned bonus ebay bucks.

    Both are too expensive for my blood. Just kicking back preparing to enjoy the profits. Cashed out of stocks last week, nice to continue increasing net worth elsewhere.

    The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

    Still holding all stock positions until election. Issue with market timing is being on sidelines and missing large moves up. Wish I had my crystal ball. With all money being printed I’m betting PM are just beginning their move up.

    Yes. Still buying. It all comes down to where you think this will top out at, and my position on Metals has always been long term.

    That was my initial plan but with all the debt creation and the state of the real economy my gut says stocks are in for a very rude awakening. Maybe they can keep it going until the election, who knows.

    It's also hard to shell out $1900 for an ounce of gold when it was recently being bought in the $1200-$1300 range. I feel I have more than enough PMs at this point. I will continue to hold the gold but will drop a ton of silver like a bad habit as soon as the price is right.

    Weimar 2.0 - time to study history. Gold went up along with stocks, but bank accounts and cash vaporized in less than a year. This isn't quite post WWI Germany, but the economics are beginning to fail - there is a large mass of renters that won't pay unless gov.com bails them out (which will happen), and a large mass of landlords who will clamor for it to happen.

    That doesn't even take into account the mass of small businesses that are failing or will fail.

    The stock market? Better keep an eye on it when the Fed stops throwing tons of money at it and the banks.

    What a mess.

    I'm seriously considering adding more metals in my overweighted position in metals because I fear for what seems likely to happen to my cash stash in the coming months. It may be time to start shifting in phases. I don't see any better options.

    Morgans if offered for sale in lots (quantity 10-100) in southern California or AZ getting snapped up. At about 25% higher than a year ago. I'm happy to take that simple profit.
    Rural, level AZ land at elevation (4,000'-6,000') is $300-$5,000 a acre. Good for grazing about 8-9-10 months of the year then you need to move the stock down a few thousand feet or give them basic shelter & feed.
    Seems like a simple turn to me.

    Have a nice day

    Unless I find an exceptional deal, I’ve quit buying for now. I did buy an UNC roll of 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars for around spot yesterday.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I mentioned in another thread that I expect the panic buyers to emerge around $1900-2K or so....Those are people who catch the gold fever as it runs up.....then end up selling at a loss. Cheers, RickO

  • MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 33,091 ✭✭✭✭✭

    who will sell at a loss when it is going to $5,000?

    Actually the time for buying is past for me and as you know I have been selling 25 double eagles that I bought last year just for this time. All gold and silver bullion which I had a weak moment when I sold 20 1/10 eagles to someone for $4300 I am keeping. My plan from 2005 was to sell half my gold at $2500 and I have not decided on the silver yet. I have always had faith in the politicians to do the wrong thing! I am in a very good position 1/3 of my profile is in pm's!

    Anyone here get in on this bargain? LOL

    Note that seller included DBS logo in his description.

  • DeutscherGeistDeutscherGeist Posts: 2,990 ✭✭✭✭

    What is the significance of the DBS logo? There was something fishy about that deal, so it was best to stay away.

    Buying PM? I have bought and still buying silver proof commemoratives from the German Mint, but they are not fluctuating with the silver price moves, so they are basically numismatic. These are not high dollar investment items either as I am not buying in bulk. Also, I feel that I want to get them fresh and sealed by the MInt now, so I do not have to worry about chasing them on the secondary market, which is a real pain. Now with this new price surge, I have mixed feelings. On one hand buying bulk silver could be cheap right now if silver is headed to $50/oz for about the third time in history, but nothing says that it has to. I am paying attention, though.

    hijacked account? One feedback for a tube (probably posted it himself). Funny thing is when I posted the link it was showing up in "recently completed sales" and still is.

    I hit my lifetime goals for gold and silver in 2018. Since then I have accumulated cash or added a few $2.50 Liberty's to my date set. I don't expect to chase the current price rise by adding any of either metal.

    Was at a pawn shop earlier, offered to buy out their stock of 90% silver, ranging from 16X face for dimes to 18X quarters, including modern proof 90%. So the lady said she would have to have help counting it and was waiting from helper to come back. Meanwhile I went nextdoor to a grocery store, came back and the guy was on the phone with the owner saying that the prices had been put out when silver was $16 an ounce or so. That tells you a lot and they will be sitting on their stash of silver for a while at this rate. They also have had a $5 Lib. in a PCGS MS63 holder for $900 or more for the last 12 or more years in their case.

    Higher premiums with the big bullion boyz in the face of rising spot tells me that demand is getting crazy.

    APMEX has a $10 premium on a "date of our choice" ASE.

    derryb,

    I checked APMEX and there is indeed $10 premiums on all kinds of flagship 1 oz bullion from various Mints around the world. Demand is going crazy. Silver is effectively $30/oz and the melt price simply has not caught up to reality.
    I have been so used to buying, that now I have to be patient and wait to see what happens.

    Was in a familiar shop today & picked up 20 pre 21 Morgans average xf for $20 each. Felt fortunate. He usually has plenty of really good 90% & he was completely out. At 19x face selling, he can't buy it at 15x in any quantity.
    I was paying 12x for his unc 1964 Kennedys in Feb.
    Silver has gone up too far too fast.

  • goldrealmoney79goldrealmoney79 Posts: 417 ✭✭✭

    Yup still buying 90%. Ive made good returns on buys for the past couple months.
    However this past month I have been only buying with money I make from tips. This has nosedived in the past two weeks, people appear to be pulling back due to the $600 unemployment dropping off.

    it depends on what the gold spot price is right before the release date, but if the spot price is 2000/oz near the release date, my guess would be 2,700, a 700 dollar premium
